The Brisbane Lions are one of the most popular and successful AFL teams and since their first season in 1997 have enjoyed three premiership wins.
However, in 2008 the Lions had little luck on the field and finished 10th on the ladder. 2008 was the last season for coach Leigh Matthews who resigned at the end of the year, and the team was co-captained by four great players: Jonathan Brown, Luke Power, Simon Black and Nigel Lappin.
The 37 man squad that made up the full 2008 Brisbane Lions team is listed below. Many of the same stars are still playing today, so check out the 2010 Brisbane Lions team and then enjoy a Bet on the AFL through SportsBet!
